Primary production, new production and vertical flux in the eastern Pacific Ocean

A new model of the vertical flux of particulate organic carbon (POC) and particulate organic nitrogen (PON) from a set of contemporaneous measurements of primary production (PP) and vertical fluxes made during the VERTEX (Vertical Transport and Exchange) program in the north-east Pacific is presente...
